Felix Ever After

Declan and Felix meet at Grand Central Station for their trip upstate; as the landscape changes, Felix wishes Ezra was with him to see it. Felix and Declan are not used to talking face-to-face; Felix tries to hold Declan’s hand but he refuses, saying that people upstate aren’t as open as those in the city. The desire to touch Declan swells in Felix. When Declan’s grandfather, Tully, picks them up, he recognizes Felix; he was the old man on the train who told Ezra and Felix that his grandson would like them. The house is a mansion, and as Declan gives Felix a tour, Felix thinks about Ezra’s wealth. He can’t stop thinking about Ezra.

Felix isn’t sure if his feelings for Declan are healthy, but he tries to kiss him again. Declan denies him, taunting him as payback for being catfished. At the pool, Declan gently feels Felix’s top surgery scars. Felix leans in for a kiss, and Declan pushes him into the pool.

Tully asks Felix lots of questions at dinner. When he asks about college, Felix realizes that he hasn’t addressed competing for the same Brown scholarship with Declan yet. Tully tells them about his first love and how it was never meant to be.
